Vehicle Description
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this very low mileage
1989 Mercedes Benz 560SL in excellent condition. The market on the
560SL is absolutely red hot right now with 1989 being the most rare
and desirable model year and this example is priced to sell. Very
low mileage and original examples of the R107 Mercedes SL are
exceptionally difficult to find and draw a huge premium in the
current market. The very low original mileage is also verified not
only by the condition of the car, but also by the clear Ohio title,
pictured below, showing the mileage as "Actual." This 560SL looks
outstanding, runs great, and is an awesome driver. It comes with
both the soft-top and auxiliary hardtop. Please note that this
560SL features European style bumpers and headlights. This gives
the car a much more attractive look and is in the style that
Mercedes originally intended for this body style. This is an
excellent opportunity to own a classic Mercedes that is ready to be
used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this
car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to
come. This Mercedes is finished in the beautiful and desirable
color combination of Arctic White (147) over Black Anthracite
Leather (271) interior with a Black convertible soft-top. This is
the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on
the data tag by the radiator pictured below. Please peruse all of
the photos, video, and other information below to get a true sense
of how clean and nice this 560SL really is.
As a side note, this Mercedes is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
560SL, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Arctic White exterior is in very nice condition. As one can see
in the photos, the paint has a brilliant gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely; it has that solid
Mercedes touch and feels like a vault door closing. The original
alloy wheels are in great shape with a brilliant finish. The
Birdgestone tires have about 90% tread left and are correctly sized
205/65R15. There are no major imperfections that have been
intentionally excluded from the photos. There are a few
imperfections around car that were too tiny to show up in pictures,
but nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet
away. As one can seen in the many photos of the underside, this
560SL is very clean underneath. We purchased this car out of
Florida and according to the previous owner it has always been a
southern car so it was never exposed to road salt, harsh winters,
or inclement weather. There are also photos included of the
rockers, lower front and rear quarter panels, and other areas on
the car most prone to rust to show how nice it looks.
Interior
The Black Anthracite interior of the 560SL looks absolutely
fantastic. The seats are in excellent condition with no tears,
rips, or split seams. The seat is not overly worn in the typical
are on the driver's bolster where the driver gets in and out. The
gauge faces are clean and crisp and the gauge lenses are crystal
clear. The carpet looks terrific with no rips or holes. The
original door panels look great with no cracks or splits, and both
door pulls are solid and in tact. The convertible soft top is in
excellent shape with no rips or split seams, and the rear windows
are clear with no fogginess or yellowing. The dash is in excellent
condition with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The wood trim
looks great with no fading or delamination. The trunk is very clean
and nicely detailed with the original spare tire, rim, and jack.
This car has never been smoked in; there is no aroma of cigarettes
what so ever and no burn marks.
The excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the
meticulous care and attention this Mercedes has received throughout
its life.
Mechanical
This 560SL appears to be in good mechanical condition; everything
on the car works and it is ready to be enjoyed. The engine starts
right away every time, idles smooth, and runs great. It is an
exceptional driver that feels nice on the road and at highway
speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on
the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears,
braking to a stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note
that it shifts well, runs great, there are no strange noises or
vibrations, and the car performs quite nice overall. The brakes are
responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. There is no
blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs cool and does
not overheat. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil
pressure. Also, the engine bay is clean, nicely detailed, and
correct as one can see from the photos.
Please note in the video that all of the warning lights work
properly. They light up when the key is first turned on and then go
off when the engine is started. There are no "check engine" or
other warning lights that stay on. The horn works as do the fog
lights, headlights, brights, turn signals, interior lights,
indicators, wipers, power locks, and fan. All of the gauges work.
The a/c works and blows cold. This Mercedes has lots of power with
the 5.6 liter V8 engine. Not enough can be said as to how much of a
pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down on a
beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1989 560SL is in excellent condition and is an
excellent value at our asking price. The market on for the R107
body style SL Mercedes is very strong right now, particularly for
the 560SL's from 1988 & 1989 model years, with 1989 being the most
desirable and most rare with only 8,251 units produced. This
Mercedes is a great value and will only appreciate over time.
Someone could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell
it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
